Area forecast discussion, Jul 6, 12:13 AM CDT, 1 hour 26 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Omaha/Valley NE 1213 AM CDT WED JUL 6 2016 .SHORT TERM...(tonight through Friday) Issued at 245 PM CDT Tue Jul 5 2016 Low pressure was located over southeast South Dakota at 18z with a warm front extending from the low into central Minnesota and a trough stretching into central Nebraska. This system will trigger thunderstorms across the region tonight as it tracks east towards the Upper Midwest. Lots of warm air across the area ahead of the system this afternoon with 18Z sounding still showing a cap in place. Main development is expected north of the area ahead of the surface low initially this afternoon then along the trough over central Nebraska by late afternoon into the evening with the whole system pushing east overnight. High dewpoints were also located across the area at 19z with mid to upper 70s common in southeast Nebraska into southwest Iowa. Will continue with Heat Advisory until expiration this evening as many sites at or close to criteria early this afternoon. High clouds may hamper temperatures a bit but most sites likely to still reach 90 or above during the afternoon. Area still looks to be between systems on Wednesday with the day mainly dry before next threat of storms comes back Wednesday night into Thursday as the next cold front drops into the area. Dry and not as hot conditions follow behind the front Friday. .LONG TERM...(Friday night through Tuesday) Issued at 245 PM CDT Tue Jul 5 2016 Pattern goes through some additional amplification over the weekend as ridge builds into Canada with deep troughs on each coast. Some hit or miss thunderstorms during this time with better chance during the overnight periods. Stronger wave comes into the Northern Rockies by early next week with trough extending into the central plains. As this trough swings across the region another good chance of storms returns for Monday. && .AVIATION...(06Z TAFS for KOMA...KLNK...KOFK through 06Z Thursday) Issued at 1212 AM CDT Wed Jul 6 2016 Scattered thunderstorms continue to exit the area with VFR conditions expected through much of the TAF cycle. Surface winds will generally remain light and variable through the period as well. && .OAX Watches/Warnings/Advisories... NE...None.
